Petrozavodsk

Entertainment in Petrozavodsk

  1. Kaffee Haus

    Widely acclaimed for Petro-zavodsk’s best coffee and cakes, there are also hubble-bubbles to smoke and there’s a pleasant outdoor terrace shared with the neighbouring Germanic pub, Bar Neubrandenburg (small/large beers from R30/50).

    Musical & Russian Drama Theatre

    Once renovation is complete, this magnificent Parthenon pile should once again stage light operas, plays, ballets and folk-group shows. The interior decor is a wild mixture of Ancient Greek, Roman and Soviet styles.

    Bar XXXX

    A vintage car bursts through the outer wall above the entrance to this appealing motor-themed rock-bar. On Friday and Saturday evenings there’s a DJ or live music and a R200 cover charge.

    Kafe Randevu

    Good for a nightcap, the 'Rendezvous' has large glass windows, indoor street lamps, and a uniquely relaxed atmosphere. Occasional DJ nights are staged. The entrance is actually on pr Marksa.

    FM-Art Kafe

    This large student-oriented basement beneath the Philharmonia isn’t really arty but each evening the theme varies wildly: jazz, chess, folk, iPod-battles… could be anything.

    Spartak

    Lavished with soccer memorabilia, the football theme of this pub-style sports bar stretches as far as the hooligans’ welcome from offensively humourless bouncers.

    Klub Karelia/Cinema Pobeda

    Behind a pseudo-classical columned facade, the Pobeda Cinema shows movies by day but morphs into a double-level nightclub after 11pm.

    Karelia

    A palatial, silver-pillared, two-level disco/nightclub enlivened by Petrozavodsk's large student population.

  9. H

    Karelian National Theatre

    Performances of locally relevant Finnish/Karelian dramas, fairy tales and some ground-breaking musicals.

    Kafe Ukuzmiya

    Curious ‘devil-forest’–effect bar handy for the train station.

    Philharmonia

    The top place for classical music and ‘sympho-jazz’.
